Chris Edwards is the director of tax
policy studies at the Cato Institute, and
editor of www.DownsizingGovernment.org.

joining Cato, Edwards was a senior economist on the congressional Joint
Economic Committee, a manager with PricewaterhouseCoopers, and an economist

The Washington Post reported that NASA spent $349 million on a rocket test facility that is completely unused. It is an impressive structure, a handsome monument to congressional folly, as the photo shows.
